What effect can a high death rate have on population growth?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Growth may slow down

The direct answer is A: a high death rate may slow population growth. Population change depends mainly on births, deaths and migration. If the number of deaths rises while other conditions remain similar, fewer people are added to the population, or the population may even decline. For example, if 100 people are born but 80 people die, the natural increase is only 20. If deaths rise to 110, the natural change becomes negative, even before considering migration. Option A is correct because it describes this possible reduction in growth. Option B is wrong because a high death rate does not normally make growth rapid; it reduces natural increase. Option C is wrong because death rate alone cannot cause an immediate doubling. Option D is wrong because death rates and migration are different population processes; a high death rate does not automatically stop people from moving. Memory cue: births add, deaths subtract; therefore more deaths usually mean slower growth.
